4 bed detached house for sale

The Quay, Burnham-On-Crouch CM0

Ever dreamed of A life besides the sea? ( or River in this case!) * Introducing 'Mulberry House Boat' * This impressive floating home has all the offerings of your standard property, but with the excitement of an ever changing scenery around it. For sailing enthusiasts the property is idyllic for spending the Summer Days watching the multiple regattas and races taking place on the River Crouch, all from the comfort of your own home! The property has been delicately designed to emphasise space and light, whilst maintaining the nautical charm. It is deceptively spacious offering 3-4 bedrooms, 2 receptions rooms, and multiple bathrooms spread across the two levels. The outside space wraps around the top level, with a majority being strategically placed on the rear side for ultimate privacy from the seawall. This area includes a sun deck, seating area, and a mechanically lowered ramp leading to a floating platform for direct access onto the water for water sport activities. The boat is a hard wearing concrete hull, which the vendor informs us involves minimal maintenance, and the property comes with its residential mooring. Viewing of this extraordinary home is highly advised.

Burnham-on-Crouch is a flourishing small Town positioned along the Crouch River. Growing in popularity and size in recent years, Burnham now offers a wide selection of amenities including shops, restaurants, public houses, and many sports clubs. Having once been known as second to Cowes, the town has a strong sailing community with three clubs on offer with various Regattas throughout the year. The Town also boasts two Primary and one Secondary Schools. The local train station offers links to all neighbouring areas and further onto London Liverpool Street. The regular bus route which has a stop a short walk from this property, connects the Town to the larger areas of Maldon and Chelmsford
